In a Catastrophe
If you were in the midst of a catastrophe,
what would you bring?
You have limited time to gather your valuables
what do you bring?
The first things that came to me were,
and in no specific order,
my wife,
my wheelchair,
my cpap machine,
and my phone.
Most of what I would bring, however,
take up no space
externally,
because they are packed within me
and they are the gifts and talents
I have been given by the Ultimate.
I would bring my wisdom,
my faith,
my compassion,
and my capacity to love.
I would bring my ability to teach,
to listen,
to hear,
to love,
to minister
and to be fully present for others.
Would I need food and water,
sure,
but my faith is telling me
we will be fed,
spiritually,
mentally,
emotionally and
physically.
In the midst of it all,
I will take a moment
to look at the storm
and tell myself
and the catastrophe,
Shalom
Peace
Be Still
and then I will grab Zoe’s hands
and know together
we have all we need.
